The majority of Democrats are happy egging on the Republican fight over releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. But some members worry they're taking their eye off the ball.

Ghislaine Maxwell has said she will testify freely to Congress if Donald Trump frees her from jail. Lawyers for Maxwell, 63, agreed that she would appear before the House Oversight Committee, as long as she could see what questions they planned to ask her about her links to the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, in advance.

In an exchange with reporters Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that Jeffrey Epstein "stole" some young women that worked at his spa at Mar-a-Lago.

A bipartisan congressional duo is now pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files on Capitol Hill.

NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Julie Tsirkin discusses the bipartisan effort to release the Epstein files. NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter Gary Grumbach explains why Ghislaine Maxwell is appealing her case to the Supreme Court.

During Mr. Trump's first term, his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, resigned following criticism of his handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal when he was a federal prosecutor in Florida. Epstein served 13 months in a jail work-release program after he was originally accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls and young women.

Here’s what could happen next as lawmakers seek answers in a case that has sparked rampant speculation since Epstein’s death.

Trump has uncharacteristically lashed out at his supporters, urging them to drop their obsession with the case.
